Minnesota Lt. Governor candidate Matt Birk made a quick stop during a "Heal Minnesota" tour for a meet-and-greet event on Tuesday at Bemidji Aviation Services.
The Bemidji Parent’s Union is hosting an event for the public to meet Bemidji school board candidates from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14 at Hampton Inn and Suites’ Mississippi Room.
With about a hundred people in attendance, the forum was split into two sessions. Candidates vying for three four-year positions took part in a question-and-answer session moderated by Larissa Donovan in the morning. Candidates vying for two two-year positions then participated in an afternoon session.
